"As embryogenesis progresses, this protein needs to be silenced, which tells us that it is key to maintaining lung stem cells," the researcher adds. The study has also described the interaction ...

Two nationally recognized experts in cloning and stem cell science from the University of Houston, Wa Xian and Frank McKeon, are reporting that five lung stem cell variants dominate the lungs of ...

At the oncological level, IGFBP3 could also have a relevant role in lung cancer, especially in relation to cancer stem cells. "We have observed that elevated levels of IGFBP3 in lung tumour tissue ...

regenerative medicine is making strides in developing lungs from pluripotent stem cells (PSCs), using interspecies animal models. Through a biological technique known as blastocyst complementation ...

Researchers have used heart and lung stem cells infected with the virus that causes Covid-19 to better understand how the disease impacts different organs, paving the way for more targeted treatments.

The Lee laboratory studies the mechanisms governing homeostatic turnover and reparative programs in stem cells, with a focus on elucidating how tissue perturbations lead to lung disease. We ...

An approach considering stem cell-based therapy of CF-injured lungs should achieve a permanent correction of the CF genetic defect. Lung injury is needed for engraftment of stem cells into the lung.
